All you need to know about Chrysler

Are you considering buying a Chrysler vehicle but want to know more about the company you’re purchasing from? This article will tell you all you need to know about this prestigious brand of cars and where this global brand came from. Based in Auburn Hills in Michigan, the car company started out officially on 6th June 1925 when Walter Chrysler helped to reorganise the Maxwell Motor Company (previously founded in 1904) following his rescue of Willys car company. He ceased production of the former company and developed his own motors, developing a 6-cylinder car at a surprisingly reasonable price. It was one of the first models to include a carburettor air filter, full pressure lubrication and a high compression engine. Notably, they also developed a ridged rim to stop punctured tyres from coming off the wheel altogether – a feature that was then adopted by the car industry at large.



In the modern age they are famous for their passenger automobiles and minivans. The company is currently undergoing an entire overhaul following a take-over of the Fiat share of the US market. As the thirteenth biggest car manufacturer according to OICA, Chrysler can count itself among the American "Big Three" alongside the Ford Motor Company and General Motors. Some of its best selling cars include the Dodge Ram. They also have intentions of developing electric vehicles which they have recently showcased at the Detroit Auto Show. Solutions such as the ZEO concept (which stands for "Zero Emissions Operation", the ecoVoyager design (which features a battery pack and motor powered by a small hydrogen fuel cell) and the Jeep Renegade idea (which is a lithium-ion battery pack) have all been considered as eco-friendly solutions to roll out to buyers and leasers of Chrysler vehicles. The company will be developing new models in line with current car manufacturer aims to cut down global emissions from CO2.
